        About
        -----
        
        Gitless is an experimental version control system built on top of Git. Keep in
        mind that Gitless might change in non-retrocompatible ways (so don't script
        around it just yet) as we seek to answer the fundamental question that drives
        this software project: if we were to challenge the very core concepts in
        version control systems, what would version control look like?
        
        In its current state, Gitless is a distributed version control system that
        supports all of the most commonly used Git features. We are missing some things
        like submodules and cherry-picking but these are coming soon (maybe; only if we
        don't find a superior, more robust way of achieving the same goal). Either way,
        since Gitless is implemented on top of Git (could be considered what Git
        pros call a 'porcelain' of Git) you can always fallback to the 'git' command to
        finish a task.
        
        Check out the documentation section to get started. If you are a novice user
        that never used any version control system the documentation should be enough to
        get you started. If you are a Git pro looking to see what's different from your
        beloved Git you'll be able to spot the differences by glancing through the
        documentation (section on Gitless vs. {Git, Mercurial} coming soon).

        Installing
        ----------
        
        Note that the installation **won't interfere** with your Git installation in any
        way, you can keep using Git, and switch between Git and Gitless seamleslly.
        
        You need to have Python and Git installed. If you don't, search for their
        official websites, install them and come back.
        
        The easiest way to install Gitless is using the Python Package Manager `pip`. If
        you don't have `pip`, just search the web for it, and you'll find installation
        instructions on their website. Now, once you have `pip` installed just do:
        
            $> pip install gitless
        
        You should now be able to start executing the `gl` command.
        
        
        
        Contributing
        ------------
        
        We only have two branches, `master` and `develop`. We code in `develop` and
        merge the changes onto `master` when the changes are stable and we're ready to
        cut a new release. So you'll find on `develop` the latest changes.
        
        To contribute: fork project, make changes, send pull request.
